The Seventh Sunday after Pentecost
Jesus was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”  

He said to them,
“When you pray, say:
Father,hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come
Give us each day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us.
And do not bring us to the time of trial.”
- Luke 11:1-4
